The reason it's setup like that, is the layout of the apartment.
The switch is in an electronics cabinet in the entry to the apartment. The router is in the living room on the other end of the house.
All devices needing wlan are used in the living room or just next to it. If I put the router in the cabinet, I lose a lot of the signal in the other end.

I don't want them to be in different subnets, I'd prefer them to be in the same one if I can

The switch is an A-Link SD8G, which to my knowledge can't be configured. Router is a Buffalo WHR-G300N with internal antennas. Buffalo also only supports 10/100 speeds.

Umm, One thing, first if your ISP is assigning an External IP.. If you can get more than one ok, but your computer will receive an external IP (Example: 66.90.214.56), so you won't be able to communicate with the router receiving maybe: 66.90.214.57.. except if the ISP is a router. If so, you just need it to use the DHCP of the ISP to all hardware and get the Wireless as an access point and beeing a switch (disable DHCP, and put static IP)

Your picture wouldn't work as your receiving only external IP on NAS and Computer, if the ISP can do like that..

If not, get a small router to put after the ISP, then your Wireless, disable DHCP but put static address. You'll be fine!

Yes, even a cheap router is enough to hand out IPs to computer and router internet traffic, though some cheap routers can't handle high speed internet connection. But if you internet connection speed is under ~25Mb/s you shouldn't have to worry about the router limiting your speed.

I have 50/10 Mb/s connection. I'm trying to configure it now with the router first, but have a difficult time getting it to be found on the network with dhcp or static ip.
